I certainly don't have to tell the former players in the room this and it's not a bulletin for most people who watch the National Football League but this a business. This is area are hard business. And we found that out this week when. Seven coaches and five general managers hall lost their job and in one week we started to see some of those positions being billed. I think most people a little perplexed by the Buffalo Bills electing Syracuse head coach Doug Maroney is. Their new head coach but were were awaiting where Chip Kelly is gonna land it appears that the Philadelphia Eagles. May be in the running although the Cleveland Browns think they're still in the running but it's been kind of interest in watching how this works this week. Andy Reid was probably the biggest surprise for me just that he jumped so quickly. Mean you would have thought that he could've been wined and dined by about 45 different teams he got Kansas City and -- was anyone going anywhere else barbecue. Yeah if he's been. Kept there by he's known Nazi for two years now and at the end. Not this year last year. They was talking about firing Andy so ever want to -- up by their. And as a competitor as well and he wants to give back into winning ways and get back you got a vet why that's. It's a dip what you do you know what he should've taken a year off. I just you you're you're in the -- for as long as you're in and not just in the game with a lot of situations that has happened to him exactly he should've just taken a year off in the jobs would have been their forum. It's not like this -- a young guy who may or may not get a chance to coach and he's gonna -- used to coach again. This I just think in in beauty to hear from me out of -- -- to step away for years and just kind of collective thoughts and is gonna come back to it. After season I know coaches wired digital I know any coaches -- competitors and and I understand average just think would have been -- -- best thing for -- me the first family we just a poetry here there we consider this year we were curious just because -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- apparently didn't. But we -- to do that we are there if he is the coach wanted things that as a player who we know. Plane helps us get through all that other thing that that negativity and Estrada was on the board BC I think I think the -- to answer question why he was so attractive -- I think the idea that a guy. Was stable I think there's there's something about -- I know I hit a lot of teams want it in the -- beyond just -- think you know it's not like in these particular system like through that particular offensive styles I want and I want Europe to produce the discount that organizational -- out of -- When you cease someone is more attractive. Italy it's -- as the data inaugural that it only have -- and her boyfriend for twenty you know there's that there's an idea of stability that they must have seen something in them he's going to be here for a long time -- you may have -- misunderstood -- -- surprise profit not that he -- I think he'd have been attractive for like five different T I -- just he did it I mean just that he jumped at the first the first or declined -- in front of them -- Now how many teams now give the hate coached total control. I'm thinking now while they did it's so much so they fired Scott Pioli. He's bringing his own guy in. How many things going allowing vehicles to come in and bring it all right you know I I also wonder at -- good point usually maybe that was it was given his situation -- with with the way things ended in Philadelphia when he came to a team building perspective that and see what company or the work he did a really good job for a really long time. And following a philosophy that you know really was set down by the patriots in the it's not about collecting -- about assembling a team -- -- that whole thing went off the Orioles. A couple of Summers ago when he started collecting talent when he started going on signing Nnamdi Asomugha -- victim in -- -- everyone under the sun. That's where everything kind of went off the -- -- maybe he's looking at dancing you know what. Wanna get back to what meet us great -- and you know what's ironic about this whole thing takes the Kansas City each. In my opinion he desperately needs a quarterback he's got first overall pick in a year where on the quarterbacks are all that attractive. There's no slam dunk all the possible alternatives -- allies. We we feel like there's no slam -- was it geno Smith -- -- Barkley is but those guys are -- talking about the -- draft but -- to -- to fifteen range is not that is worthy -- I want to but I -- -- were talking -- well for horses and Russell Wilson snarled as -- as -- does that really make that much -- -- I think its interest in just that you know. -- his other alternatives I mean we've we've talked about him as a as an as an option in Arizona and you know going back with diesel quarterback you know and in relative to go Kevin Cobb is a reclamation project there encountered on the -- in the back -- Islamic mirrored the -- question maybe it's more that was -- -- their cupboard as well bullet. I thought might that might have been lower as much as the barbecuing -- -- -- is that a government who shoot I don't want it to positive attitude and from doing a perspective the jumped up this week Josh McDaniels. Basically you know on officially said look I'm not looking for new job. Simulating what surprised some people out there I thought that was a bit of the president the other thing was we found out the bill O'Brien with the Cleveland brown yes that loss Martha's Vineyard that -- -- he's he's he sat down with him in in with their pitches etc. and -- -- him mr. currency interest in the the browns have roots and markers and because that's what -- -- that big saluted him authentication in witnessed minimally invasive Ari you don't.

NESN's Barry Pederson on the Bruins dominance

Cleveland Indians hottest team in baseball, yet remain last in attendance May 19, 2013 By AJ Kaufman 6 Comments There’s a scene in Major League where Bob Uecker, portraying the radio voice of the Indians, bemoans, “In case you haven’t noticed, and judging by the attendance you haven’t, the Indians have managed to win a few here and there, and are threatening to climb out of the cellar.” Well, that was nearly 25 years ago and fictional, but today’s reality is that Cleveland has won 17 of its last 21, and currently tops the AL Central with a mark of 25-17. No one in the majors is better than the Indians in the past month (20-7). That’s great news. The bad news, however, is the Tribe somehow remain in the MLB cellar when it comes to attendance. How can this be? The fact that I wrote on this same topic almost to the day last year – when only Tampa Bay drew fewer fans than Cleveland - may be even more troubling. Though roughly 34,000 watched a walk-off win Friday night against Seattle, perfect weather and free caps weren’t enough to draw more than 36,000 Saturday and Sunday combined. What did the Indians do in those tilts? They nabbed another walk-off win on Saturday, then the Indians crushed the great Felix Hernandez Sunday behind Justin Masterson, arguably the AL’s best pitcher right now. Fun fact: The Indians have already faced eight Cy Young Award winners in 2013: Bartolo Colon, R.A. Dickey, Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Jake Peavy, David Price, Justin Verlander and Hernandez. They have won seven out those eight matchups. Simply astounding. This offseason, the much-maligned Indians front office finally made a legitimate attempt to improve the team through free agency. I’m not talking an Ubaldo Jimenez-like trade, but rather smart acquisitions that brought veterans Mike Aviles, Michael Bourn, Jason Giambi, Scott Kazmir, Brett Myers, Mark Reynolds, Drew Stubbs and Nick Swisher to Cleveland. In addition to being a fantastic place to watch a game due to great egress and ingress, with extremely affordable tickets, the best promo lineup anywhere, Jacobs Field boasts overall, cooler, less muggy summer weather than most Midwestern locales. The team also lowered beer and hot dog prices to $4 and $3 respectively. What other professional stadium in any sport offers that? I have visited 28 of the 30 current Major League Baseball stadia, and few top The Jake when all angles are considered. I say that as a baseball fan, not an Indians fan. As for the putative “economic” angle, these are the same people who spend insane amounts of money to watch terrible football every fall and show up in decent numbers for putrid basketball in the winter. Irrespective of season length, those sports charge up to 10 times the price for a ticket, and the atmosphere isn’t half as fan-friendly as baseball. I understand fans’ lack of willingness to get on board to some degree. A decent recap of Cleveland’s decade of “rebuilding” can be read here and the team suffered a horrific collapse last August. However, in addition to all the benefits of attending games at Jacobs (now Progressive) Field, fans should also realize the team has potential and often exceeds preseason aspirations at any point without warning. Cleveland hosts the rival Detroit Tigers — heavy favorites to repeat as AL Central champs — Tuesday and Wednesday nights before hitting the road. The temperature should be pleasant at first pitch each evening so you’d expect The Jake to be full to watch the best hitter on the planet right now — but don’t count on it.

By and large, the focus of development in the minor leagues is on players.

They share their insights about the differences between player and coaching expectations in Triple-A vs. the majors, while discussing professional development from the perspective of former minor league managers who aspire to similar positions in the big leagues.
